OfflineIMAP is a software to dispose your e-mail mailbox(es) as a local
|
|
Maildir. OfflineIMAP will synchronize both sides via IMAP.
|
|
|
|
The main downside about IMAP is that you have to trust your email provider to
|
|
not lose your mails. This is not something impossible while not very common.
|
|
With OfflineIMAP, you can download your Mailboxes and make your own backups of
|
|
the Maildir.
|
|
|
|
This allows reading your email while offline without the need for the mail
|
|
reader (MUA) to support IMAP disconnected operations. Need an attachment from a
|
|
message without internet connection? It's fine, the message is still there.
